Sorry... my error... the date 10.Nov.07 is returned and the spreadsheet shows
10.Nov.07 in column A starting at row 2

Hi,

If using the hard coded value of "10-Nov-07" works try adjusting your
format replacing the periods with dashes.

formatdate = Format([GetDate], "dd-mmm-yy")

Cheers
Andy

I'm a newbie to VB.. I'm trying to open a spreadsheet (CSV) on a remote
website, Find a specfic date in column A and determine row in order to get
the specific data I need from the sheet. Spreadsheet opens and I get the
"91" error which I think because it can't find that date. But when I copy
the spreadsheet to my local harddrive and run the code again, it works.
I have verified that the correct formatted date is in the GetDate field by
using msgbox prior to the FIND stmt.
